Strength
The human body is engineered for strength, power and endurance. Learn how bone is as sturdy as concrete but flexible enough to resist breaking. Watch how a man survives been sucked up in a tornado and flung hundreds of meters in the air and how a rock climber finds the strength to lift a half tonne boulder off his chest.
Brain Power
Uncover the most powerful organ in the natural world – the human brain. Learn how this central processing unit generates as many electrical impulses in a single day as all the telephones in the world put together. Observe how brain activity accelerates in times of danger, effectively slowing down time to save us. See why sleep can unleash unseen powers in our mind, and how our brain can take over in times of crisis, including starvation, sleep deprivation and extreme heat and cold.
